I mean, you might not think it adds to the plot, but for the gay 14 year old who's never seen a movie about two dudes in a rom com it might mean the world to see some representation.
Look how crazy Asian people went when crazy rich Asians came out or parasite. It's good that it meant a lot to a group. I didn't give a shit, but that doesn't mean it isn't still cool that a group was happy about it. There's no shortage of movies about straight white ugly dudes getting hot chicks. Hell there's enough of them just with Adam sandler in it.
As you said though, the idea of people using this to justify real world actions is a joke and as much as ulic thinks it's smart, because lots of people do it, just means more people are easily manipulated than we expected.
